Next door to where i get my massages, Johnnies has good pizza and pasta selections. keep in mind this is not a 5 star italian dinner. this is just good takeout pizza with fresh ingredients. pastas are also always cooked well. i ask for extra pasta always to portion out for the next meal. and my favorite sandwich is the meatball grinder. wish they had a meatball pasta! read more

Most of the reviews on here accurate. I must disagree with those who say the customer service is no good. I had a great experience here with the employees. I was greeted quickly and given recommendations on the menu by the cashier. Even the pizza delivery guys or cool greeting me as I sat down. This place is comfortable and not as busy as most of the places on Abbott Kinney. This is a great thing. The food is great and the service is amazing. I will definitely stop by Johnny's pizza again. read more

We finally came here tonight. We pass it all the time and even poked our heads in one night while waiting for take-out from Wacky Wok. Tonight we wanted someplace quick but not fast food, so we met here. We ordered the Caesar salad and a pizza with Canadian bacon. We always order our pizza with extra sauce and easy cheese. The Caesar salad was great. The lettuce was crisp and fresh and the dressing was very garlicky. We both liked this. The pizza was also good. The extra sauce was right on, but the easy cheese was still too much cheese and a little greasy. They explained that the extra sauce made the cheese kind of rise up but it was still a little oily. The crust was good and crispy. We enjoyed our first visit here and learned that we need to order very easy cheese. We are looking forward to coming back and trying the pizza with less cheese. Overall, we were very happy to find another local restaurant that we like! read more

My experience with Johnnie's has always been great! I don't do take out or go to the restaurant I always order delivery and it comes perfect every time (knock wood). We ordered a large half pepperoni half Mediterranean and it was delicious. I love the thin New York crust; plenty of toppings & huge. What more do you need? Tip: this place often runs coupon deals so search company name plus coupon and you'd be surprised what you might find. I got $3 off a large pizza making it 17 bucks. Winner! read more

Johnnies - Aahhh. - Pizza Near Me - Venice, California

About once a year we will drive the 10 miles to get here for their NY WHITE PIZZA with adding mushrooms and chicken. The guys at the counter were very friendly - we did dine in hence our order taken at the table. Were several customers coming in for pick-up or to order to-go in which the staff knew by name. Got, "Thank yous" from both counter people as we exited. Will be back again. The parking lot can be full as sharing it with the other businesses - we did get the last spot available - but notice folks do leave (can quickly be taken). One time did park out on the residential street, but was an easy walk to and from. read more

This was our game time meal (USC/UCLA) Placed our order via the website for pick up - after we placed the order, we noticed it was a third party website. Good thing we didnt enter any credit card info and used cashed. A couple of minutes after we sent the order, we got a confirmation call from them. The odd thing was after the order was placed online it wasnt told to us when it would be ready, and the person that called to confirm didnt tell us a pick up time. It was my first time having pizza from here - I was surprised the pizzas were so big, it should be for the price. Pizza was good, was it NY standards? Couldnt tell ya, I've only been to NY once and that was a few years ago so I dont recall. But it was good. Was it the best pizza I've ever had? No. I still think Petrillo's in San Gabriel has the best pizza - but with that said, the pizza here isnt bad, in fact its good. But its a lot more expensive than your Chain delivery place. FIGHT ON!!!!! 50-0 read more

WORST FUCKING SERVICE EVER. ordered pizza at 4:08 at 6:15 a clearly mentally slow worker says "Ohhhhh I'm so sorry but the delivery driver said you cancellefd the order" UH NO. "I'm waiting. Hungry." "i'll see what the manager says but he said you cancelledf your order". UH NO. HUNGRY. "Manager said he'll be there in 10 minutes" NEVER CAME. DON'T ORDER. read more

Man...soft wet dough..this is so far removed from NY pizza. Not even tasty. Just a mess of slopped on stuff....Pizza? Not even close...I was feeling too bloated to even write something more last night. It's the next day and I can't believe I even ate a few slices. I threw out the rest of the pie which I was planning to keep for the next day. Simply, this is not pizza. Years back I have had decent pizza at this place. Not great, but pretty good. What I was sent last night was a thick, gooey, oil-soaked mess, with the ingredients thrown on an over-cheesed, thoughtless prep. Maybe this is what the customer base likes and thinks in NY style pizza. When I picked up a slice, the whole thing collapsed and the cheese with the ingredients slid off the dough that appeared to be dipped in oil. Yes, some of the crust did have a crunch. I resorted to skipping the bottom third - let it fall off, etc. and then make a mini slice. read more

Pickup pizza every-time it's practically stale like cardboard. Too bad used to be great

Ordered a pizza on Sunday night, never delivered, no message, no phone call. Charged my credit card though! I disputed the charge, my credit card company will fix it. I am a local and will not order from there again. Be aware! Just got response and I wanted to post a screen shot of all my phone calls on Sunday, none from anyone after I placed the order at 7:30, 3 hungry people right behind the door with a ring doorbell in place and a functioning real doorbell too, please! Just say sorry! read more

I personally love this place. I mean yeah.. it's on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. Their pizza is delicious, I love the thin crust. The ham and pinapple is my favorite, but I'm always down with the classics like the pepperoni or the plain ole tomatoes and cheese. I've been to another Johnnies on 3rd street in Santa Monica and the pizza there was ok but this one is way better. Both food- and service wise. Probably because of all the busloads of tourists that's hanging out on there. I actually wanted to comment on what some other yelper said about the service and one of the cashiers/waitresses; every time I've gone there, Vida (as mentioned by another yelper), has always been super nice to me. I was actually surprised to read that since she was the reason I decided to go on here and rate Johnnies in the first place. In my experience, when ordering over the phone at any place things always seems to go wrong.. hence why I almost never do it anymore unless I really, reeeaally have to. 5 stars for food and service -1 star for burning a tiny hole in my wallet everytime I go there (compared to when I just need to fill my pizza cravings and go to little c's) :) read more

Yayyyy for Johnnies. Their pizza was crispy, perfect amount of sauce and toppings, crust was super good. Their mozzarella sticks were very yummy too. Even after reheating the left overs in the oven I was super happy! The delivery was about 15 minutes quicker than expected. They read my delivery notes. They were polite on the phone when I called asking for ranch. I was very happy with my experience and definitely have found my new go to pizza place!! read more

I'm giving them 5 stars strictly based on the pizza. My brother just brought some home from a trip out to Venice Today, let me just say it was by far one of the best slices I've had in a while! The dough was super airy with a great crunch it almost melts in your mouth... cheese, pepperoni and jalapeños tasted very fresh. Definitely checking this place out when we take a drive out to Venice. read more

Uber Eats has their name and address for a place at 11614 Venice called Pizza 24. The outside says "Aqui es Oaxaca". Be careful not to confuse the two like I did. read more

Wanted to try Johnnie's other dishes and was craving pasta with meat sauce. Their pizzas are OK. Prefer Pizzarito NY pizza. Spaghetti w/bolognese sauce was actually pretty good. Eggplant Parmesan was tough, heavily breaded and fried. Mostly breading. Marinara sauce is pretty boring. Garlic knots, not good. Needs more garlic & salt. In conclusion, it's a chain. Not very well managed. Workers probably are not paid well or supported by mgmt. Too bad. Potential to be a good business again. read more

Johnnies - Garlic knots, eggplant Parmesan w/penne pasta, spaghetti w/bolognese sauce. - Pizza Near Me - Venice, California

Can you please get the sauce ratio right? Pizza shouldn't be dry cheese bread. Sometimes this place is great and others I feel like they ran out of sauce? read more

This is the most disgusting pasta I've ever eaten. We ordered two different pastas from this place for $19 and $20 each. You think an overpriced pasta dish would be worth it? Wrong/ So bland, oily, and overall disappointing. I'd rather have a $5 pasta dish from dominos. The chef and owner should be ashamed to serve this garbage. read more

I like their pizza and pasta dishes. We've been going there for years! Consistently delicious.

I'm writing this review at 4:00 a.m. because the Johnnie's mushroom pizza I ate late night gave me food poisoning. Two reactions to that pizza: my throat is has contracted (gagging reflex) as if my body is trying to reject what I put in it; and I have the big "d" which further indicates something rude entered my system last night. Johnnie's pizza is the only thing I ate (or drank), so I know it was the culprit. And no, I don't have any food allergies. I live less than a block away from this restaurant. I've come here for 20 years. But I noticed the ownership/management changed not too long ago. This used to be my favorite pizzeria, but no longer. Also, the price for a large 14" mushroom pizza has rocketed to $24.95. I walked 5 minutes to home as always, keeping the pizza horizontal. But when I got home and opened the carton, the cheese had run off the dough and onto the cardboard. I had never seen that ever from the previously owned and run Johnnie's... or any other Johnnie's on the Westside I've frequented. But no biggie, I thought. As I tried to pull the first slice from the pizza pie, it wasn't possible. The chef had not properly sliced the pie. I had to get out my own pizza slice blade to re-cut the dough properly. Again, no big deal, but the first time this occurred from this Johnnie's. As I bit into the slice, I noticed how thick and gummy the cheese was. The cheese did not taste like cheese either. It didn't taste good like "normal". Maybe it was some cheaper whey product processed to look like cheese, but it was work to chew it. This was not the recipe I had come to know and love from Johnnie's. I threw it out so my wife wouldn't come home and eat it. It was sub-par for anyone's pizza. So, only in my memories will the Johnnie's N.Y. Pizza will be a great place for pizza. It is no longer, sad to say. read more

Arrabiatta penne so good and hit the spot!! Veggie delight pizza with massive chunks of roasted garlic and goat cheese mushrooms sundried tomatoes, f*ck. So freaking good!! Hangover officially cured. Keep it up! read more

The food here was amazing!~ I tried the pizza and pasta and they were both delicious! I would really recommend the NY White Pie that was my fave~ I saw the couple next to me order a salad and that looked amazing as well! I would really recommend this place read more

I've ordered 3 times through postmates and LOVED their calzones! My order was always correct and so delicious. I ordered their pepperoni and mushroom calzone, my husband ordered a custom one twice, and I've also ordered a salad that was exceptional. I don't get excited over food easily but I loved Johnnies!!! read more

I really dug the NY White (garlic sauce with mozz and spinach) it was just the right balance of ingredients, not too heavy in any one thing with a nice crust. The NY chopped salad was good... I ordered a half salad and it is HUGE. I am almost scared to see the whole order! Dressing was nice and since we got it as takeaway, it came on the side, which was nice. The whole container would be a bit overwhelming, I think. read more

Very impressed. As a NYer, this pizza is hands down one of the better spots to go for a slice or a pie. Joe's, LaRocco's and now Johnnie's!

The woman that takes your order is extremely abrasive and scolds you for not ordering by the menu names. Had to call back to let them know I wanted delivery. "In the future when you order you need to make it clear whether it's pickup or delivery." I guess I expected the service professional on the other end of the phone to establish that clarity. I just said, "I have an order. I'd like yada, yada, yada"...then you spouted out a price and hung up on me. It actually took me a couple of minutes to realize, hmmm, they have no idea where I live. Called back and got a tutorial on ordering from Johnie's. Super fun customer experience. I'll pass. read more

Sauceless pizza. Girl on the phone was great but was sorry to inform management would only be willing to send sauce by driver. ?!?! 40 minutes later to add to my pizza? $20 for a pizza that has just the minimum and not even that. What a jip. read more

Just ordered a salad and pizza from this spot through amazon 2.5 hours ago. They gave my initial order to the wrong driver and then messed up my order again apparently. This was a complete waste of time and ruined our night as everyone is now annoyed and hangry. Not sure if it was them or amazon but they messed up our order twice and we just cancelled bc this shit is ridiculous. Never ordering again from here read more

Ordered delivery wanting to try pizza from somewhere new. This place did not disappoint! The meat was quality, the sauce was light, and the veggies were fresh and high quality as well. You get a ton of garlic knots for the price too. Will definitely order from here again. I would say this is the best pizza I have had in LA. read more

The worse costumer service I ever had last few time I was there......also don't order any pasta since the portion keeps getting smaller their Pizza are great but have to find a new place for pizza ...Sorry Jonnies costumer service is the KEY read more

This is one of my favorite pizzas. It's a chewy tasty thin crust with a brilliant sauce and great tasting cheese. I've been to the one at the Promenade, but I just like getting my here as it's faster with no crowd. You can watch them hand toss the pizza while you're waiting. They have an awesome italian chopped salad that I always get as well. They have several branches in So Cal and if you have a group or out with friends the Promenade location would be better. It's when I just want a solid NY Style pizza for myself that drive out to the location on Abbot Kenny in Marina Del Rey. read more

The salads are humongous!! Tried the chinese chicken salad and was surprised to be actually full by a salad. It was sweet and tangy. Definitely too much dressing, asking for the dressing on the side is recommended. They give you these garlic rolls with marinara sauce with your meal which are amazing! The pizza is solid not amazing but not terrible in any way. Those garlic rolls though, wow! read more

My girlfriend and I came here to eat some comfort food and heal from a long week... and weekend. Lol. This place sure hit the spot. We ordered the shrimp scampi pizza and the tomato basil garlic pizza. What pleased me is that we ordered one pizza but got to try two pizzas by putting both half and half. That was an awesome option. To add a little spice, we also ordered the shrimp diavolo pasta. It had a deep zesty taste that had a richness that blended with the pasta very naturally. I especially loved the slight heat that came up as well with each bite. This place is known for their pizza but they are also very very good with pastas so it is definitely an added bonus for those who would like that option. For me, this was not the end. I am on a "strict diet". I am watching what I eat and exercise more because, I'm 32 now and have got to be more wise in what I intake. However, I gave into my temptation, my nemesis, chocolate cake. My girlfriend gave me "the look" when I ordered it, telling me to stop eating T^T but after she had a bite, she said I made the right choice. It is rich and decadent, yet not too sweet that I am craving to drink milk or coffee. The balance and texture is perfect for a palate cleanse. To put it straight, it is on the level of a high end coffee place like Urth Cafe. As I left, I ordered another tomato basil garlic pizza to go to drop off to a close couple. They were extremely grateful for the late night goodness. This concluded my Sunday evening 10/16/16 and healed me to help me start the week strong. PS. The couple next to us ordered two calzones. It shocked me that, 1. They were size of small footballs 2. The couple each finished all their calzones! read more

Pests all inside the restaurant. Owner is a jerk to his delivery drivers. Not recommended.

This was the worst pizza ever! We ordered for delivery and it was literally falling apart half of it on the top of the box and what was left on the crust fell off once you tried to take it out of the box and the chicken wings suck too. And it's expensive?! read more

The last time I ate here the pineapple they used was bad. There was a weird taste to the pizza and it turned out to be the pineapple. Luckily, I didn't get sick but it was gross. Here's an idea, open a new can of pineapple every day. read more

Used to get this pizza a lot, and felt it was definitely the best pizza in the area (and I am an ex-NYer). But over the years I have gone increasingly low carb and have been avoiding pizza. However, last night my husband and I had a craving for their meatball subs, which we used to love, and figured we could just skip the bread and eat the insides. I ordered over the phone, for pick-up, and asked if I could get green salad instead of the pasta salad that comes with the sub - I was told rather curtly, no, this was impossible. Did not seem very customer service oriented at all. Well the meatballs, sauce and cheese were good, like I remembered - but it bugged me that they couldn't substitute salad (just plain greens - I didn't expect anything fancy) for the pasta - especially at the cost of $19 for two subs, which seemed kind of steep for what we got. Don't think I'll be rushing back. read more

Amazing service and great food. So glad we found this place. Will definitely be back.
